 San Antonio Opera Presents Carmen
September 26 - 28
Lila Cockrell Theatre
200 E. Market Street
San Antonio Opera presents George Bizet's beloved Gypsy-rhythm opera Carmen at the Lila Cockrell Theater. Carmen steers away from the typical comic opera towards a more intense tragic story. What begins as a blissful love story slowly unfolds into an action thriller. Enrique Patron de Rueda will conduct the 42-piece San Antonio Opera Orchestra, accompanied by St. Mark's Episcopal Church Children's Choir. Carmen will be sung in French with English and Spanish super titles projected above the stage. www.saopera.com |
 CHICAGO: The Musical
September 26 - October 19
Woodlawn Theater
1920 Fredericksburg Road
"Chicago" has everything that makes Broadway Musicals great: a universal tale of fame, sex, lust and all that jazz. One show-stopping-song after another and the most astonishing dancing you've ever seen. Whether you're looking for your first San Antonio Broadway musical, whether you've seen the Academy Award-winning film and want to experience the show live on stage, or whether you've seen it before and want to recapture the magic, "Chicago" always delivers. www.woodlawntheatre.com |
 ENCANTO DE MUJER: Lyrical Paintings
by Maria Luisa Carvajal de Vasconcellos
September 27 - November 14
Esperanza Peace and Justice Center
922 San Pedro
A self-taught artist from San Anto's West and South sides, Maria Luisa Carvajal de Vasconcellos reveals to us one secret to the healing process: Arte. "EnCanto de Mujer" displays 84-year-old Vasconcellos' artwork as it has evolved throughout her 28-year painting career. In sketches and over 60 paintings, she weaves together settings such as San Antonio, Mexico, Brazil, Spain and Portugal, and tells the tales of the Mujer, the woman - sometimes sweet, sometimes tragic and sometimes seductive. www.esperanzacenter.org |

How could the economic crisis affect art?
Guardian UK (09/19/08)
Johnathan Jones
"If the economic crisis does become this century's Great Depression, how will art be changed? That seems hard to answer without also considering politics. In the 1930s art was divided between Left and Right, as well as between modernist and realist. It mattered more where you stood than how you painted."
